CL isn't exactly the bastion of humanity but this scumbag is the worst I have dealt with to date. Guy posts an ad with horrible pictures and says he will accept a reasonable offer. I take a stab at an offer based more on his text than anything and even let him know I was offering without knowing what he really had. The next morning I get a "I accept your offer" reply, and we send back and forth 6 emails confirming time, address, pickup, etc etc. In terms of deals, this was done complete in the books ready to go. Meanwhile I spend a large part of my day (sick, staying home from work) researching what I can about the lot and themes he claimed to have and it looks like a good deal. An hour before our transaction (11 hours and 6 emails after he accepted) I get an email telling me the price has gone up but I am welcome to stop by and make a new offer. Hey clown, FU. I admit I have had pretty good luck with CL so this may be tame to some. Got a bad story? Share it and let the healing begin!

Is it just a Baltimore thing? People using Craigslist for the movement of illegal pharmaceuticals, but keyword stuffing and showing up in everyone's saved searches? Get a handful of these every week on my "Lego" saved search.

I have seen that here for weed (which is decriminalized). Coke & ice? Yikes. What is carts? 

I would think the popo would be searching online for this stuff regularly, at least in a large city.

Same here. They come in waves and go. I get some for escorts as well.

I'm guessing it's not nicotine.

For just a penny a piece, this "perfectional Lego builder" will put your sets together for you.

^^ This ad is still reposted every week but I may have found them a client

Here is a new age big brain investor.

Step 1:Buy direct from Lego for GWPs
Step 2: Convince buyers to come to your sh!tshack to buy at RRP versus buying from retail
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit from selling GWPs at Amazon prices

Step 3:  Tour of "Lego Room"?

And maybe add in a bonus poly bag with purchase of any "two" Lego sets.  Limit one per household.

There is a guy like this in the Chicago Lego Facebook group, but he is getting more deals by using cashback sites... im all like hey bro cool story, we were doing this like 10 years ago and using discounted gift cards on top of it all.
